Notable quotes
“There are other venues of the quality. There are not at the moment other venues of the quantity. And we were spoiled. We had two of them. We had Modern Pinball and Sunshine before the pandemic. It was just a great night.”
“I asked myself the question: if I walked into an arcade and there were these four games sitting there, which one do I have to touch right now? And then which one will I touch next? And then what's left? And Centigrade 37 is the one I'm touching now.”
“There's one thing that I've said this before. I've said it about in-laws. I've said it about relatives. There's one thing we can all agree on here in America, and that's Dolly Parton.”
“If I walk in and those four games are there, that's the first one I'm touching. Stars is a close second.”
“I'm definitely playing Twilight Zone. But in both scenarios, I want to see Twilight Zone, in large part because I'm going to manage the ceramic ball in ways that I think my opponents, most of my opponents, are not thinking of.”
“This is the 'why do you make me choose' group. I don't know. Each of these four is in my top three.”
“I tried not to consider how you might be assigning the points as I went through them. That's very, there's a lot of integrity that you've shown there.”
“All of them seemed like number ones to me. All of these, except for Jaws, seemed like not.”
